Well well well my old sparring partner is still here lol. What a huge white elephant this company turned out to be. Hope you are well and living life. All the very best to you.
Well mate what a sad day for VRP. Im afraid to say ive bottled it and sold all my shares earlier on today. My total loss is £8,000. For many a year now ive said it will only take one bit of negative news and this company will go under. The way i see it is the market makers in the stock market are always the people in the know. Ive also always said that if 554 was actually as good as JAK has always made out a large pharmaceutical company would have bought Verona out years ago. No doubt the large pharma's have done their due diligence on RPL 554 and come to the conclusion its useless. And it seems the market in America has the same opinion. All i can say its a very sad day all round but this now needs an absolute miracle to survive which in reality isnt going to happen. Rhodi il never forget our spats all those years ago. Can you remember the 10 pence by Christmas argument lol. Mate its been a pleasure talking to you but im afraid this is now dead in the water. All the above just my own opinion of course.
Thanks for thinking of me rhodi its seems a lifetime that ive been invested here. I hate to remind you but pretty much everything that ur saying now i said years ago but maybe our saving grace is this just can't go on forever. Here we are on the verge of yet another trial result and no doubt the share price will rise a little then over the coming weeks and months fall back down again. I still have to smile at JAKS statement when he said that there will be SIGNIFICANT share holder value in the short to medium term !!!! I still think if that statement is not misleading the market i don't know what is !!!!. I would hope if and when we get into stage 3 of this fiasco maybe just maybe we could see a buy out. As always time will tell and maybe we will get that beer rhodi.
Hi Rhodi. I agree with everything you have just written below. Unfortunately Bewise is either miss informed or just a total incompetent idiot. Thinking about it he would fit in quite nicely on the Verona Pharma board of directors !!
All i will say to all you gentlmen is this. A number of years ago now i did tell you all that this company and share price was going nowhere. I did point out on many many ocasions that if 554 was was truly a FIRST IN CLASS treatment this company would have been bought out or at least funded by one of the large pharmaceutical companies. As i also remember you ALL ridiculed me at the time telling me i had no idea what i was talking about. Well gentleman it gives me no pleasure at all to say to you I TOLD YOU SO !!!. It would not surprise me at all if this company completely goes under this year. If it does, i like many will have lost quite a lot of my hard earned money in this sad excuse for a company. It does seem a very long time ago Rhodi that we were having our arguments regarding DOUBLE FIGURES BY XMAS. I would be more than happy just to break even and for that to happen it would have to reach £3.00 per share which there isn't a cat in hells chance of happening. Good luck to you all and COME ON ENGLAND lets at least get to the final tonight as that would be a fantastic achievement.
£100 Million Pounds !!!! Thats just playing at it in this market of COPD !!! The institutions who have invested have had a punt nothing more than that.
Hello there. Still have a look now and again and still have quite a substantial holding which is worth less than half of what i bought it at !!! If this does ever get to commercialisation which i very much doubt maybe i would break even !! My thoughts on 554 are still the same. If this drug was as good as Verona make out a major pharmaceutical company would have bought us out years ago. Imagine a back street garage inventing a tyre that was impossible to get punchered and would last 3 times as long as a normal tyre the large manufacturers like Michelin would be breaking thier necks to get thier hands on it. Because they would know they would be out of business when the new tyre got to market. If you use this same example with 554. It pretty much does the same as other inhalers but without the side effects therefore can be inhaled multiple times. If this was truly the case dont you think the big boys would be queing up and make Verona an offer they couldnt refuse. Because they would know just like Michelin they would be losing Billions of pounds when 554 came to market. The large Pharmas will have done thier due diligence on 554 and come to the conclusion that they have nothing to worry about !!! And over the years the Stock Exchange in London have come to the same conclusion !!! The share price is pathetic if this was really going to be the next big thing in the COPD market. Ive said all along what will happen there will be a negative result in one of the trials and that will pretty much be that !! But of course the BOD will all have had a great ride courtesy of all of us, staying at the best hotels etc living the life of riley. It was a number of years ago now since Rhodi and myself were having our spats regarding 554. I think even he has come to the conclusion that this is one of the largest white elephants we have ever seen on the Stock market. Significant share holder value in the near fucture my backside !!! When all of this does inevitably collapse, our CEO should be made to answer some very awkward questions in front of the select committee !!! All the above just an opinion of course. I wish you all well especially the long term holders.
Sorry for my grammar in the car lol
Gentlemen I told you all what Rhodi has posted some years ago now and you all laughed at me didn't you !!! Well I don't take any pleasure in this whatever because just like Rhodi if could break even or anywhere near I would be off like a shot
All this has been about for many years now is the CEO and his friends to fly first class around the world, staying in the best hotels, eating expensive food and drinking the finest wines. What have they given us in return?? I will tell you all, sweet **** all !!! Something now needs to be done about our CEO. He needs to be taken to task and I believe he has deliberately misled private investors and also the market in regard to his statement about significant share holder value. This is a criminal offence !! The financial ombudsman now needs to be informed and an investigation carried out. Something stinks to high heaven about this company.
This is just getting worse and worse. Won't be long now before the share price is below £1.00. If this is a so called first in class drug with the potential that some on this board keep banging on about, why on earth would the sell volume be what it was yesterday !!!. And of course there are those who keep on saying we should start and see a slow but sure rise in the share price, and of course this never happens now does it !!. All in all there is something that stinks about this company. If this was going to be the next big thing in the COPD market private and institutional investors would be falling over themselves to invest, but there not are they. I've always said for reasons that we don't know, the powers to be in the stock market really don't like this company. And as I've already iluded to, why would there be such a volume of sells yesterday if this was going to be the next big thing !! Just dosent make sense.
What the bloody hell was I thinking all those years ago when I invested in this company. Like the rest I probably thought it was a good idea at the time!!!!
You don't seem to have much intellect or intelligence at all do you !!! The drug is nowhere near commercialisation so how can it be advertised you baffoon!!!
And in regard to the statement that JAK made in regard to Significant Share Holder value. If that's not classed as misleading the market I don't know what is !!!!
This just gets worse and worse. We have all been led to believe over the years that this so called first in class drug is going to be the next big thing in the COPD market. It's a pity that the people who really matter don't believe them ! I'm sure the large pharma's will have conducted their due diligence both on this company and their one trick pony drug RPL 554. I wonder why none of them have made a block busting bid either as a joint venture, or to completely take over the company and then take 554 to market. I don't know what it is but something is just not right here ! It's dilution after dilution, then the share price drops like a lead balloon. If any of you guys decide to go to the AGM, could someone please stand up and ask our CEO what he actually meant by and I quote."there will be SIGNIFICANT share holder value in the short to medium term" not forgetting that statement was made a few years ago now ! I do hope you all have a good weekend.
Let me put this to everyone on this board. Can you all remember our CEO's statement ?? He stated there would be "significant shareholder value in the short to medium term ". I think I am correct arnt I !!! My point is this. How many people parted with their hard earned money on the back of that statement !!! I suggest quite a lot. Does anyone think that statement was misleading to personal investors and also misleading to the stock market ??
Totally agree with you. If at any time in the future I get anywhere near breaking even I will pull my money out of here quick sharp. !!!
It certainly wasn't lol. My last buy was around 2 years ago now. My average in old money is 5.30 pence. So I stand at this moment in time with a paper loss !!! My investment in VRP is substantial, and I will use the word investment very loosely these days to the degree unfortunately in my own mind I have had to write my investment completely off. Buying shares is a gamble at the end of the day. And of course you have to be able to kiss your money goodbye if it dosent come off. It's only my opinion but as the weeks, months, and years have passed I just can't see this ever reaching a chemist shelf. I've said for many many years now if this thing was any good a large pharma would have invested in some way years ago. And of course as we all know they haven't have they !!! All I can say is this, for the sake of not only myself but the long term holders who still have an average of above 10 pence I hope I am proved to be wrong.
This company is a total shambles !!! Whatever the science is behind 554 the business side certainly leaves a lot to be desired !!! The MM''s in London I'm sure will have lots more information regarding Verona Pharma as a company and for reasons knowing to themselves they don't like us !! This is starting to stink to high heaven !!! And the share price tumbles even further today !!! Close the door, turn the lights off and let's all go home.
Did you say that 554 is in your words a REMARKABLE COMPOUND !!!! Oh it's that remarkable that no large pharma is remotely interested whatsoever !!! And all we see is dilution after dilution and the share price falling like a lead balloon !!! Oh yes this is certainly going to be the next big thing isn't it !!!! Cloud cuckoo land is the phrase that comes to mind !!!
